 All is quiet on New Year's Day

Nothing changes on New Year's Day

I will be with you again

Under a blood red sky

I will begin again



I'm singing hallelujah

Amen, the angels say

Let's hope tomorrow finds us

For all of our tomorrows

And what was yesterday

I'm saying seize the day

Come on, let's live forever

Where does the time go

It's New Year's Day

New Year’s Day

  

New Year’s Day - Song by U2

 

All is quiet on New Year's DayA world in white gets underwayI want to be with youBe with you night and dayNothing changes on New Year's DayOn New Year's Day
I will be with you againI will be with you again
Under a blood red skyA crowd has gathered in black and whiteArms entwined, the chosen fewThe newspapers says, saysSay it's true, it's trueAnd we can break throughThough torn in twoWe can be one
I, I will begin againI, I will begin again

New Year's Day - Song by Bon Jovi

 

The midnight bells are ringingA ship is setting sailA newborn baby's cryingAs lovers say farewell
I'm singing hallelujahAmen, the angels sayLet's hope tomorrow finds usIt's New Year's Day
Let's toast to new beginnings okayRaise up a glass and sayFor all of our tomorrowsAnd what was yesterday come on
I'm singing carpe diemI'm saying seize the dayCome on, let's live foreverIt's New Year's Day
Where does the time goJust watch the wind blowSha la la laIt's New Year's DayGreen does the grass growOutside my windowSha la la laIt's New Year's Day
This message in a bottleThe wisdom of the wineIt's just a rainy MondayThis isn't Auld Lang Syne
I'm singing hallelujahAmen, the angels sayLet's hope tomorrow finds usIt's New Year's Day

January

 


Fresh starts thanks to the calendar they happen every year

 just set your watch to January, our reward for surviving the holiday season is a new year. Bringing on the great tradition of new years resolutions, put your past behind you and start over.

 It’s hard to resist the chance of a new beginning, a chance to put the problems of last year to bed. 

Who gets to determine when the old ends and the new begins?

 It’s not a day on a calendar, not a birthday, it’s not a new year, it’s an event— big or small, something that changes us, ideally it gives us hope, a new way of living and looking at the world, letting go of old habits, old memories. 

What's important is that we never stop believing we can have a new beginning, 

but it's also important to remember that amid all the crap are a few things really worth holding on to.




Find salvation after Christmas?


So save up your kisses,
Dampen down your ardour,
And maybe we can smooch,
In January's restocked larder


December is letting go,

Of all the past year's fails,
And starting anew in January,
As time again chases its tail.




January is the first month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars. Its length is 31 days. The first day of the month is known as New Year's Day. It is, on average, the coldest month of the year within most of the Northern Hemisphere (where it is the second month of winter) and the warmest month of the year within most of the Southern Hemisphere (where it is the second month of summer). In the Southern hemisphere, January is the seasonal equivalent of July in the Northern hemisphere and vice versa.



There is a breed of Tuesday in January in which time creeps and no light comes and the air is full of water and nobody really loves anybody.




Lots of people go mad in January. Not as many as in May, of course. Nor June. But January is your third most common month for madness


I blink January’s lashes
and gush down December’s cheeks


JANUARY,
The first month of the year,
A perfect time to start all over again,
Changing energies and deserting old moods,
New beginnings, new attitudes


December is letting go,
Of all the past year's fails,
And starting anew in January,
As time again chases its tail.


. In January a man crawls into a cave of hopelessness; he hallucinates sympathies catching fire. Letters are glaciers, null frigates, trapping us where we are in the moment, unable to carry us on toward truth


Dickensian poverty tends to occur after Christmas in January. For it is then, with pockets empty, diary decimated and larder bare, that the general populace sinks into a collective pauper's hibernation until Valentine's Day


Find salvation after Christmas?

So save up your kisses,
Dampen down your ardour,
And maybe we can smooch,
In January's restocked larder




HAIL, January, that bearest here
On snowbright breasts the babe-faced year
That weeps and trembles to be born.
Hail, maid and mother, strong and bright,
Hooded and cloaked and shod with white,
Whose eyes are stars that match the morn.
Thy forehead braves the storm's bent bow,
Thy feet enkindle stars of snow.


Maybe January light will consume
My heart with its cruel
Ray, stealing my key to true calm.

January

Janus am I; oldest of potentates; 
Forward I look, and backward, and below 
I count, as god of avenues and gates, 
The years that through my portals come and go.
 
I block the roads, and drift the fields with snow; 
I chase the wild-fowl from the frozen fen; 
My frosts congeal the rivers in their flow, 
My fires light up the hearths and hearts of men.


For January I give you vests of skins,
And mighty fires in hall, and torches lit;
Chambers and happy beds with all things fit;
Smooth silken sheets, rough furry counterpanes;
And sweetmeats baked; and one that deftly spins
Warm arras; and Douay cloth, and store of it;
And on this merry manner still to twit
The wind, when most his mastery the wind wins.
Or issuing forth at seasons in the day,
Ye’ll fling soft handfuls of the fair white snow
Among the damsels standing round, in play:
And when you all are tired and all aglow,
Indoors again the court shall hold its sway,
And the free Fellowship continue so.



the Saxon term Wulf-monath 
meaning "Wolf Month"
